WHY HE SUPPORTS THE ADMINISTRATION
[Boston Traveller
Candidate Lowering saws he is supporter
OF the administration. OF course he is. He
Is not seriously running for the governor
ship, but his fight is for the office of United
States marshal. Therefore there is no doubt
about Mr.. Lowering being supporter of the
administration. What troubles him is the
question as to whether the administration
will support Mr.. Lowering.

The prospect of a big labor vote in New
York city and Brooklyn had very solem-
MIXING effect upon the New York Democratic
convention. Even Tammany, which is al
ways spelling for fight with its natura
enemy, the County Democracy, was so thor
oughly pervaded with the common danger
that 1t kept the peace, and even consented to
walk arm in arm with its ancient foe.
All the factions were so thoroughly
frightened and so convinced of the necessity
OF harmony that they stood ready to pro-
mote II with q club IL need be.

The Interpretation put upon the Soldiers
and Sailors Exemption Act passed by the
last Massachusetts, Legislature by the Su-
preme Court will !HSeve gloomy disappoint-
ment to those who doomed the act in the hope
thatlt you'd prove practical extinguisher of
ths-State civil service law. The Court holds
that even veteran must be certified by the
commission before he can be legally APP
pointed That is to say, the applicant, even
though he be veteran, must make his appli-
cation to the civil service commissioners who
are to decide as to his qualifications. 1t was
probably the expectation of the promoters Of
the law that the appointing power would be
free to appoint persons who came within the
exemption clause without reference to the
civil service commission.

The paragraph in the platform of the Sara

sion of the question of civil service reform
to - people was the result of compromise.

people. Bourke Cochrane was its author
and Tammany its sponsor. After sharp
fight 1t got majority in the committee But
Mr.. Dorsheimer, who was chairman of the
committee, refused to report the platform
with that resolution in it, and after a long
wrangle compromise was effected and
the plank found in the platform was substi-
tuted. It was case undoubtedly of hypoc-

What q Man should Tell HIS wife.


The San Francisco papers are dis
cussing the question OF conjugal conf
pences and trying to determine what
. man should tell his wife. They do
Mt seem to be making very much
progress toward an agreement rs to
what q ma1 really ought TO tell his
wife; indeed. they seem to be very
much in doubt as to whether, as Q
matter of fact, 1t wouldn't afford her
more pleasure to let her find 1t out her.
self and tell him.
The San Francisco people seem to
have gone at the question the wrong
way. What Q man ought not 70 tell
his wife isA much simpler problem,
and In solving IL the other question IL
solved ale.
1t Is pretty well settled that . man
ought not to tell his wife when he gets
an increase in bis salary; he ought not
to tell her that her bonnet 10 unbecom-
ing; be ought not to tell her that she
has powder on her face; he ought not
to tell her that he will be at home be-
fore midnight; he ought not to tell her
that the Smiths have gone away for
the summer. II he is prudent man,
he will not tell her what he really
thinks Of the picture Of Minnehaha
Falls upon which she has expended 20
much time and patience and paint;
and, there are . number Of ether
things that he probably will not tell
her, but this lie enough, probably, to be
helpful and suggestive TO active minds
who feel the need Of advice on this
subject.
The San Francisco discussion also
includes the questions as TO what
wifi. should tell her husband. That,
of course, 10 less complicated In view
of the fact that there is nothing In par
ticular that the right kind Of . wife
could keep from telling her husband
no matter how much che might try.
To use the miners phrase, the SUB iect
seems to suddenly pinch out" here.
